Why Use Microneedling for Acne Scars?
Acne scars form when breakouts damage the skin and the body doesn’t produce enough collagen to heal smoothly. Microneedling helps by:
🔹 Stimulating Collagen & Elastin – The tiny controlled micro-injuries trigger your skin’s natural healing process, encouraging new, healthy tissue growth.
🔹 Breaking Up Scar Tissue – Microneedling remodels old scar tissue, helping the skin look smoother and more even.
🔹 Safe for Most Skin Types – Unlike some lasers, microneedling is effective on a wide range of skin tones with less risk of pigment changes.
🔹 Minimal Downtime – Redness usually resolves in a day or two, so you can get back to your routine quickly.
🔹 Gradual, Natural Results – Improvement happens as your skin heals, leaving you with softer, smoother skin over time.
At High Valley Dermatology, we use the SkinStylus® Microneedling System, one of the only devices FDA-cleared to treat acne scars—so you can trust both the science and the safety behind your results.
